We won't be getting any help from other teams in terms of beating the Yankees. We need to take care of our own business. It's time for Rodriguez and our pathetic offense to step it up. WIN!!!
-
Lynn sounds like a reasonable possibility, depending on the cost of course. I haven't looked, so I don't really know who will be available, but I'm confident Dombrowski will come up with someone.
-
These guys want to play and win as much as any other team. You are right about the players just not having intense personalities. The JD Drews of the world are so misunderstood. We need to bring back my man Youkilis. Or is that too much fire?
-
Yeah, that's not really a real thing, especially if that advantage is erased, and then some, by a team playing all out for the last weeks of the season in order to gain home field advantage.
-
I think some of it comes from players trying to do too much. When the team is not scoring runs, players are trying to make something happen. That doesn't excuse the poor decisions, but that could explain why they're happening.
-
This is a little misleading in terms of hitting. Pedroia's oWAR is being hurt by his terrible baserunning. I understand that baserunning is part of his overall offense, but that is where the disconnect is between his slash line and his oWAR.
-
I disagree with your assertion that Pedroia is some kind of soft player, but this begs the question of whether Bogaerts and Hanley are doing their team more harm or more good trying to play through their injuries.
-
LOL They are hard to figure out, for sure.
-
I think oldtimer's point was that he performed poorly the 2nd half of 2014 because he typically drops off during the 2nd half, not because of the move to 3B.
-
Thank you for that recap. I was specifically talking about when he was moved to 3B to make room for Drew at shortstop. I don't think he handled the move very well in terms of his ego taking a hit, but that's just my opinion.
-
It's possible. I don't remember exactly when he was moved to 3B either. I do recall Bogaerts saying something about the move to 3B affecting him though. In terms of this year, I really think all of his troubles are injury related. I don't think he's healthy.
-
I know how worrisome it is not to be able to reach your family members. I hope they are all safe.
-
Mike Cameron signing too. To my credit, Adrian Beltre signing too, and there were a LOT of people who bemoaned that signing when it happened.
-
Those moves didn't work out, but I was a fan of all of them at the time they happened.
-
I think when you start moving too many players off position, you do yourself more harm than good. I am okay with the idea of moving Devers to first for a significant upgrade at 3B (although I'm not okay with giving Machado a huge contract). Besides, I really don't think Bogaerts would handle the move well. He didn't the last time.
-
The rules do not allow for that. A DH can only bat for the pitcher, which I find kind of odd. If a manager wants to let his pitcher bat, for whatever odd reason he may have, he ought to be allowed to do it.
-
Well said SoxHop.
-
I agree that we've seen more boneheadedness that usual this year. Maybe it's because we have a much younger team than usual? Plus Hanley. LOL
-
The break even point for stolen bases is typically from a 68% to a 75% success rate. To give you an example of how stolen bases are overrated, in 1982, when Henderson stole 130 bases, which added 22.2 extra runs to his team, he was also caught stealing 42 times, which cost his team 20.6 runs. For all of that running he did, he netted his team a whopping 1.6 runs for the season. You can take those stats to the bank.
-
At least you quoted me correctly with your snarkiness. I appreciate that.
-
FTR, this describes what has been done historically. This does not describe what should be done.
-
No one has ever said any of those things. Please at least quote me correctly if you're going to be snarky.
-
Come on Moon, give the man a little credit. You may not like what you see, and I can understand that, but he has a clue. Guaranteed.
-
To me, it's a random enigma.
-
Ha. It's not the lack of protection from having Papi in the line up, so it really is an enigma.
